Rummenigge said: “Our team gave it everything, you mustn’t forget that some of our players had knocks.

“If you look at the displays turned in by (Jerome) Boateng, (Robert) Lewandowski (both of whom had faced races to be fit for the clash due to thigh and shoulder injuries respectively) or Manuel Neuer I can only take my hat off.

“It was magnificent football, but unfortunately the refereeing decisions went against us.

“The red card was a heavy blow of course. But if you blame the team you’ve seen the wrong match. It was a superb game.”
